ElEncuentro.Visual web design and development for holiday apartments in Telde, Gran Canaria.
What was there, and what's there now.
No website of their own. Guests only discovered the complex inside Booking or Airbnb, competing on price against a hundred other listings and never seeing the place described in its own words.
A website of their own with a carefully crafted interface that shows the apartments, amenities and surroundings before booking, multilingual and linked to the platforms where guests already know how to book.
Residencial El Encuentro had no online presence of its own to convey what staying there feels like. Potential guests went straight to Booking or Airbnb without getting to know the complex first-hand, and there the only things that compete are price and stars. They needed a polished website that presented the apartments, the area and the amenities visually, and connected to the booking platforms their guests already use.
We designed a visually polished website in React, focused on getting the experience of the complex across clearly, quickly and attractively. It shows the apartments, amenities and surroundings with photography leading every screen, in several languages and tuned for smooth browsing on any device. Visitors reach Booking and Airbnb from the website itself to complete their booking where they already have an account and trust.
Four things a template could never deliver.
01Design
A calm visual language that feels like the stay itself: generous space, atmospheric photography and relaxed typography. The website shows what a portal listing can't: the place, not the rate.
02Speed
React and Vite on a static build, with the gallery optimised so the photos, which are the product here, load without making anyone wait, even on mobile data from abroad.
03Experience
A journey that leads from the area to the apartment and from the apartment to booking, multilingual and with Booking and Airbnb links right where the guest has already made up their mind.
04Local SEO
Content written around holiday apartments in Telde and south-east Gran Canaria, so the complex shows up by name and by area before the search ends up inside a portal.
Online presence strategy
We looked at how to position the complex against the big portals, and defined the content architecture and the journey from first visit to the click through to Booking or Airbnb.
Calm, functional design
A visual language that conveys calm and trust: generous space, atmospheric photography, elegant typography. The website reflects the experience the accommodation offers.
Gallery and immersive interface
Atmospheric photography in an immersive gallery, an interface that lets it breathe, multilingual content and direct Booking and Airbnb links at every key point of the journey.
Performance and post-launch
An optimised deploy with Lighthouse in the green. Post-launch monitoring and content tweaks to maximise time on site and clicks through to the booking platforms.
